One idea could be that as a girl, Leo has to face different challenges in leading the team. Maybe she has to deal with more doubts from others at first because she's female. But she overcomes them with her skills and determination.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, Leo as a girl discovers a new form of ninjutsu that is more attuned to her female energy. This new power could help the Turtles in a big way, but she also has to train hard to master it. Along the way, she has to prove to herself and her brothers that being a girl doesn't mean she's any less of a ninja.
Perhaps a plot where Leo discovers some new powers or abilities that are related to his pregnancy. It could be something that he has to learn to control quickly. And then there could be a story arc about the team finding a way to ensure a safe delivery for Leo, which might involve seeking out some very rare or magical items.
A great plot could be about Leo and Raph competing in a tournament that's not just about physical strength but also about strategy and wisdom. They start off as rivals in the tournament but soon realize that they need to team up to defeat the real threat, which is a group of villains who are cheating in the tournament. This would show their growth from competitors to comrades. Also, a story where they are separated from their other brothers and have to survive in a harsh environment on their own, relying only on each other's company and skills.
Another interesting plot could be that the reader is a time - traveler from the future. They come back to the present day and meet Leo. Leo is initially suspicious but as they work together to prevent a future disaster that the reader knows about, they fall in love. It adds an element of mystery and adventure to the story. Plus, the time - travel aspect can bring in different versions of the TMNT universe and how they interact with the current situation.
Her appearance could be developed in a unique way. She might have long hair that she has to figure out how to keep out of the way during battles. Also, her fighting style could be more fluid and graceful compared to the traditional male - dominated style.
One idea could be that the Turtles from 2003 get transported to the 2012 universe and they have to deal with the different versions of their enemies. For example, the Shredder in the 2012 version might have some new powers or tactics that the 2003 Turtles aren't used to.
A possible plot is that an ancient evil that was sealed away in the 2003 universe is accidentally awakened by the arrival of the 2012 turtles. The 2003 turtles initially blame the 2012 ones but then realize they need to work together. They combine their strengths, with the 2012 turtles' modern thinking and the 2003 turtles' deep knowledge of ancient ninja lore, to defeat the evil.
One idea could be that the Turtles from 1987 end up in the 2003 universe and have to adapt to the darker and more serious tone. They could team up with the 2003 Turtles to fight a common enemy like the Shredder. The 1987 Turtles' more light - hearted and comical ways might initially clash with the 2003 Turtles' brooding nature, but they eventually learn from each other.
A possible plot for tmnt baby sister fanfiction is that the baby sister finds an ancient artifact that has a connection to the turtles' heritage.

Additionally, the baby sister could get involved in a school project about mutants which leads to some unexpected revelations about her brothers and their place in the world.
One idea could be an OC who is a new mutant in the city. They could have a unique power like the ability to control plants.
